Summer Solstice: Opening to the Light with our Heart as the Portal

Summer Solstice

Opening to the Light with our Heart as the Portal

For this day we come together to celebrate the Summer Solstice, the Sun's Radiance and the Season of Summer. We invite our Inner Light to shine even brighter with the expansion of love and togetherness in CommUnity.

May you feel welcomed here as you are, to be held by the Land, our Ancestors and the Elements. As we gather may we, with the magic of meditation, setting intentions, Family Constellations and the renewing medicine of Sound Bath, be encouraged to open our hearts to whatever needs transforming and healing. 

May you feel held, heard and accepted as the unique beautiful Being that you are.  

From our hearts to yours,

Susan, Anika, Michelle and Joan
